A Spy Thriller

18th May 2020

Well done to Mia for writing this brilliant Spy Thriller.Enjoy!

 

'I barely got out of there,’ Ava murmured under her breath.  ‘Only for this sleep serum I would've been doomed,’ but this time she was too loud.

‘Hey, where do you think you're going?’ shouted a guard, Ava froze.  She wasn't the type of girl to give up so easily.  She was sweet, kind and caring but she could be mean if she wanted to, so she decided to trick the guards once again.  She turned around to face them and she sprinted for them, it was two against one but she still won the fight.  After that she sprinted back to her boss. 

‘Great work Ava, your next mission will be to break into Mr Horror’s lair it is a family home or so thought to be but you’ll soon see what i mean, I'll give you the coordinates later, first let's get you ready!’

‘Okay’ said Ava excitedly.  ‘Here are your gadgets, the Hand Grenade which allows you to shoot grenades from your hands, the Minus Gravity Boots which allow you to walk on walls, a Tape Recorder in case someone says something interesting and finally a pocket knife there always handy to have.’ 

When Ava arrived she realised her boss was right, it did look like an ordinary family home. ‘Maybe he gave me the wrong coordinates’ thought Ava.  The door was ajar but she knocked anyway.‘Hello, is anybody home?’

Then as soon as she walked in someone encased her in a plastic ball.  Ava couldn't see who it was because they were lurking in the shadows. ‘You're a great spy’, they gave a ghoulish laugh.  Ava thought it was a man by the depth of his voice.

‘Let me go!’ Ava screamed. ‘Not that easy i'm afraid, first you will have to tell me who you work for then I will make you forget all this ever happened and that you were ever even a spy’, he said it in a singsong voice to tease Ava and it riled her. 

‘You sick freak, why are you doing this?’ Ava said desperately. ‘Oh you want to know why’ he paused for a moment contemplating whether he should tell or not.  ‘It all started when my mother abandoned me, I lived in an orphanage for 8 years then someone finally adopted me. Then 10 years later when I was independent enough, I moved out and I decided to get my revenge on the ones who mistreated me,’ he said.

‘What did you do with them?’ Ava said, nervously.  ‘They've been locked in my basement for months.’ He stepped out of the shadows and into the light so that Ava could see him, ‘and so will you!,’ Ava couldn't help gagging at the sight of his face.  His skin was peeling at the sides, his eyes bloodshot and red from not enough sleep, his lips cracked, greasy hair and yellow teeth. 

‘What happened to your face?,’ Ava asked feeling woozy. ‘Last time another spy was here they poured hot water all over my face,’ he said.  He started rolling me somewhere. ‘That must be why he puts people in the plastic balls!’ thought Ava. Then it hit her how did she not realise, he was Mr Horror!  Ava was being rolled to the basement. ‘Now you'll all be killed, it's taken months to capture you and here you all are the ones who betrayed me and the ones who are after me, now I am unstoppable!’ Horror threw his head back and gave a high pitched laugh, that sounded like a hyena.  ‘We've got to stop him!’ said Ava desperately. 'There's no use, we’ve tried everything’, said a depressed looking young woman. Ava pulled out her pocket knife and made two massive slashes in the shape of an X, then she got out and did the same to everyone and they all got out.  Ava counted there were 6 people down there. She then turned her Minus Gravity Boots on and looked around and spotted a window on the ceiling. She went up and unlocked it and climbed up on the roof and dropped the boots down then the next person came up and so on.  They repeated this technique for climbing down the walls and onto the ground.  Ava was counting and making sure everyone was there when Horror came running towards them with an axe. Ava was shocked and gave who she guessed was Horror's mother her car keys and told them to wait inside. While everyone was now safe in the car Ava blasted Horror with her Hand Rockets and he went flying backwards, Ava then sprinted back to her car.  Ava was recording the whole thing on the Tape Recorder and later on she handed it to the police. Horror was sentenced to life in jail for attempted murder and more.  Everyone was thankful and they all lived happy knowing Horror was in jail for life.
